Chronic kidney disease (CKD) typically extends over decades. Longitudinal monitoring of kidney function in CKD is thus of great importance. Here, we retrospectively evaluate use of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations to monitor long-term course of kidney function and to identify individuals with progressive kidney function loss.
